ftp://username@moran.dreamhost.com/oursite.org/Media/MP3/mp3filename.mp3. When I try to add that URL in the code it doesn't work. Can someone please point out what I'm doing wrong please?
There are different types of URLs and you are using the wrong type.
In particular, the URL you what is an HTTP URL indicated by the scheme identifier http:// so that the file can be accessed from the Web via the HTTP protocol.
The URL you got from Filezilla is for the FTP protocol as indicated by ftp:// scheme identifier and of course to use such a URL requires the person to login to your FTP account using your username and password… just like you did with Filezilla yourself. But that is obviously not the way to go here. Generally one would publish this type of URL for an FTP site that is open to the public or that you know the person will have their own FTP account and permission to access the file. Neither applies in your situation.
Thank you for the reply, this is much appreciated.
Then what is the correct way to proceed to have a file, wether it might be an image or an MP3 or a PDF, available to my site visitors so I could add a working link to this file? You'd think I would easily find the answer to this but I cannot seem to do so for whatever reason. If anyone could provide a link or a working example that would help lifting my newbie fog.
The correct way depends on what you have to work with.
Web browsers are what you call client software. If you use the term 'Web', you are talking about the HTTP protocol, and URLs that start with http://, and your "web browser" is what is called an HTTP client. Thus if you put something on the Web, you then tell other people how to get it by saying 'http://domain/path/file', and they can use their web browser to get it.
But hold on! Another protocol is FTP, and thus you need FTP client software to use it. While Filezilla is an FTP client, you should be aware that most desktop web browsers are both HTTP and FTP clients. Thus on web pages when a link is to an FTP site (ftp:// URLs remember!) your web browser will be able to download the file for you.
As I mentioned these FTP URLs are not suitable for your purposes because you don't have an FTP server that won't require a username and password. So that leaves you with HTTP URLs that link to your web site - there is no requirement for a username and password in order to download a file from the web site. More importantly in your situation you have to take into account whether an FTP or HTTP URL is required when an application asks for a URL. Yeah, you know that Firefox/Opera/Safari/Chrome/MSIE will do both, but did you notice the media player that you want to use doesn't mention which type to use? It could turn out that only HTTP will work and FTP won't. If documentation doesn't mention a particular scheme (ie ftp:// or http://) it is safe to try an HTTP URL first.
I tried to do it the way you suggested and it worked… but not with the player I was trying to use. After several unsucessful tries I tried it with the Yahoo player mentionned on the same page using the same link (that is in the format outlined in your reply), and lo and behold it worked! I feel like I just overcame a major hurdle thanks to you.

Triumwirat – zgromadzenie złożone z trzech osób (z łaciny trium viri – trzech mężów) mające na celu wykonanie określonych zadań.

Triumwirat można uznawać za formę ustroju politycznego, jednak naprawdę nie jest to odmienny ustrój, a jedynie szczególny przypadek dyktatury bądź oligarchii. W dyktaturze triumwirat zajmuje miejsce jednego władcy (przejmuje jego uprawnienia, przywileje i obowiązki). Gdy mówimy o triumwiracie w oligarchii to rozumiemy przez to fakt, że grupa rządząca (oligarchowie) składa się z trzech osób.

Starożytność

Starożytny Rzym (Republika rzymska)
W Rzymie dwukrotnie zawiązywano triumwirat:
 I triumwirat został powołany w roku 60 p.n.e. przez Gnejusza Pompejusza, Gajusza Juliusza Cezara i Marka Krassusa. Istniał do 53 p.n.e., do śmierci Krassusa podczas wojny z Partami. Pozostali triumwirowie stoczyli ze sobą wojnę, która zakończyła się klęską Pompejusza pod Farsalos (48 p.n.e.) i zdobyciem pełni władzy przez Cezara.
 II triumwirat został powołany w roku 43 p.n.e. przez Oktawiana, Marka Antoniusza i Marka Lepidusa. Jego celem początkowym było ukaranie zabójców Cezara – Brutusa i Kasjusza, co nastąpiło rok później, kiedy obaj ponieśli klęskę i zginęli w bitwie pod Filippi. Triumwirat istniał do około 36 p.n.e., kiedy to Oktawian pozbawił władzy Lepidusa. Wojna o całkowitą władzę w Rzymie pomiędzy Antoniuszem a Oktawianem zakończyła się klęską tego pierwszego pod Akcjum (31 p.n.e.) i zdobyciem pełni władzy przez Oktawiana, pierwszego imperatora Rzymu od 27 p.n.e.

Chiny
W starożytnych Chinach jeden z triumwiratów został zawiązany w czasie panowania Dynastii Han, kiedy to po śmierci cesarza Wudi w 87 p.n.e. władzę objęli trzej dostojnicy (Trzej Ekscelencje) : Huo Gang, Jun Midi, i Shangguan Jie którzy sprawowali ją w imieniu małoletniego cesarza Zhaodi.

Trzej Ekscelencje było to gremium składające się z trzech najważniejszych urzędników państwowych czasów dynastii Han:
 Kanclerz
 Sekretarz Cesarstwa
 Najwyższy Dowódca Sił Zbrojnych

Nowożytność

Francja
 Pierwszy triumwirat w rewolucyjnej Francji tworzyli członkowie Komitetu Ocalenia Publicznego, który w l. 1793–1794 sprawował praktycznie władzę we Francji: Maksymilian Robespierre, Louis de Saint-Just i Georges Couthon.

 Drugi triumwirat istniał w latach 1799–1804 za rządów Konsulatu; od zamachu 18 brumaire'a roku VIII (9 listopada 1799) zorganizowanego przez Napoleona Bonapartego do momentu wprowadzenia przez Napoleona I Cesarstwa 18 maja 1804. Władzę sprawowali wówczas trzej konsulowie z kadencją dziesięcioletnią, chociaż faktyczne rządy sprawował Napoleon – od 1802 dożywotni konsul, zaś dwóch pozostałych konsulów miało głos doradczy. Urząd konsula sprawowali:

 I konsul: Napoleon Bonaparte (9 listopada 1799 – 18 maja 1804; od 1802 konsul dożywotni)
 II konsul:
 Emmanuel-Joseph Sieyès (9 listopada 1799 – 24 grudnia 1799)
 Jean-Jacques Régis Cambacérès (27 grudnia 1799 – 18 maja 1804)
 III konsul:
 Roger Comte de Ducos (9 listopada 1799 – 27 grudnia 1799)
 Charles François Lebrun (27 grudnia 1799 – 18 maja 1804)

Republika Rzymska (1849)
W Republice Rzymskiej w 1849 roku rządziły 2 triumwiraty:
 29 marca – 1 lipca 1849: Carlo Armellini, Giuseppe Mazzini, Aurelio Saffi
 1 lipca do 4 lipca 1849: Aurelio Saffi, Alessandro Calandrelli, Livio Mariani

Grecja
Istniał w Grecji od 30 stycznia do 30 października 1863. Po obaleniu króla Ottona I władze przejął triumwirat w składzie: Dimitrios Wulgaris (premier), Konstandinos Kanaris i Benizelos Rufos. Triuwirat przekazał władze nowemu królowi Grecji – Jerzemu I

Argentyna
W państwie o nazwie Zjednoczone Prowincje Rio de La Plata przed powstaniem Argentyny rządził w latach 1811–1812 triumwirat: Feliciano Chiclana, Juan José Paso i Manuel de Sarratea; w l. 1812–1813: Juan José Paso, Nicolás Rodríguez Peña, Antonio Álvarez Jonte.

Rosja Radziecka / ZSRR
 I triumwirat: w maju 1922 na skutek pogarszającego się stanu zdrowia Włodzimierza Lenina uformował się triumwirat, który miał w jego imieniu a także po śmierci (w 1924) sprawować władzę: Lew Kamieniew, Józef Stalin, Grigorij Zinowjew. Istniał on do 1925 r., kiedy to Kamieniew i Zinowiew zerwali współpracę ze Stalinem.

Kolejne dwa triumwiraty kierowały ZSRR:
 13 marca – 26 czerwca 1953 – po śmierci J. Stalina triumwirat tworzyli: Gieorgij Malenkow, Ławrientij Beria i Wiaczesław Mołotow do aresztowania i rozstrzelania Berii.
 1964–1977 po odsunięciu Nikity Chruszczowa od funkcji I sekretarza KPZR władzę w partii i państwie sprawowali: Leonid Breżniew (jako I Sekretarz KPZR), Aleksiej Kosygin (jako premier) i Anastas Mikojan (jako przewodniczący Rady Najwyższej ZSRR). Triumwirat przestał istnieć gdy Breżniew został w 1977 przewodniczącym Rady Najwyższej ZSRR.

Rumunia
 W roku 1866 po obaleniu księcia Aleksandra Jana Cuzy władzę przejęła Rada Regencyjna w składzie: Lascăr Catargiu, Nicolae Golescu, Nicolae Haralambie (1866) - sprawowała władzę do koronacji Karola I

 Po śmierci króla Fredynanda I 22 lipca 1927, w imieniu niepełnoletniego Michała I władze w Rumunii objęła Rada Regencyjna w składzie: książę Mikołaj, patriarcha Miron Cristea i I prezes Sądu Kasacyjnego Gheorghe Buzdugan (zastąpił go po śmierci w 1929 Constantin Sărăţeanu). Rada Regencyjna zakończyła rządy 7 czerwca 1930, gdy nowym królem został Karol II.

Polska

Rząd Narodowy Rzeczypospolitej Polskiej
Rząd polski powołany przez władze powstańcze powstania krakowskiego 22 lutego 1846. Istniał aż do czasu zdławienia powstania przez wojska austriackie 3 marca 1846. Nie miał jednak znaczenia ogólnopolskiego a jego władza ograniczała się w krótkim okresie do Krakowa i okolic.
Na czele Rządu w dniach 22-24 lutego 1848 stał triumwirat:
 Jan Tyssowski (Galicja),
 Ludwik Gorzkowski (Wolne Miasto Kraków)
 Aleksander Grzegorzewski (Królestwo Kongresowe), kontrolujący prace Rady Ministrów.

Rząd Narodowy (powstanie styczniowe)
Podziemna struktura dążąca do przejęcia władzy na terenie Królestwa Polskiego i Ziem Zabranych w czasie powstania styczniowego
W dniach 19-20 marca 1863 Rządem kierowała Wykonawcza Komisja Dyktatorska w składzie:
 Agaton Giller
 Stefan Bobrowski
 Józef Kajetan Janowski

Rada Regencyjna
W Polsce formę triumwiratu przyjęła Rada Regencyjna, która powstała na podstawie patentu w sprawie władzy państwowej w Królestwie Polskim opublikowanego 15 września 1917 i miała oficjalnie sprawować władzę zwierzchnią nad zależnym od obu państw centralnych Królestwem Polskim.

Radę Regencyjną tworzyli:

 Zdzisław Lubomirski
 Aleksander Kakowski
 Józef Ostrowski

Rada Regencyjna 7 października 1918 roku ogłosiła niepodległość Polski, a 11 listopada 1918 roku przekazała naczelne dowództwo nad wojskiem polskim Józefowi Piłsudskiemu, zaś 14 listopada 1918 r. rozwiązała się mocą własnego dekretu przekazując pełnię swej władzy Piłsudskiemu.

Rada Trzech
Innym triumwiratem w dziejach Polski była Rada Trzech działająca w Londynie na uchodźstwie w l. 1954–1972 – miała ona od 1956 prerogatywy prezydenta RP na wychodźstwie i była konkurencyjnym organem wobec prezydentury Augusta Zaleskiego. Rada Trzech rozwiązała się w lipcu 1972 po śmierci Augusta Zaleskiego, uznając za prezydenta wskazanego przez niego na następcę Stanisława Ostrowskiego.

Skład Rady Trzech:
 1954–1955 Władysław Anders, Tomasz Arciszewski, Edward Bernard Raczyński
 1956–1966 Władysław Anders, Edward Bernard Raczyński, Tadeusz Bór-Komorowski
 1966–1968 Władysław Anders, Edward Bernard Raczyński, Roman Odzierzyński
 1968–1969 Władysław Anders, Edward Bernard Raczyński, Stanisław Mglej
 1969–1970 Władysław Anders, Edward Bernard Raczyński, Alfred Urbański
 1970–1972 Stanisław Kopański, Edward Bernard Raczyński, Alfred Urbański

Rada Prezydencka (projekt)
W lutym 1945 podczas konferencji w Jałcie prezydent USA Franklin Delano Roosevelt zaproponował utworzenie Rady Prezydenckiej, jako kolegialnego organu pełniącego funkcję głowy państwa który miałby powołać Rząd Tymczasowy Jedności Narodowej, sprawujący władzę w Polsce do czasu wolnych wyborów. W skład tej Rady mieliby wejść:
 Bolesław Bierut - przewodniczący KRN
 Stanisław Grabski - były poseł, ekonomista
 Adam Stefan Sapieha - arcybiskup metropolita krakowski.
Przywódca ZSRR Józef Stalin miał stwierdzić, że obecność Sapiehy ułatwiłaby rokowania, ale... nie jest znany adres biskupa.

Współczesność
  – w Bośni i Hercegowinie funkcje głowy państwa pełni trzyosobowe Prezydium Republiki, złożone z przedstawicieli trzech głównych grup etnicznych: muzułmańskiej, chorwackiej i serbskiej, wybieranym w wyborach powszechnych na kadencję czteroletnią. Na jego czele stoi przewodniczący, zmieniający się rotacyjnie co 8 miesięcy.

  Unia Europejska – w UE po Traktacie lizbońskim (2009) nieformalny triumwirat tworzą osoby zajmujące trzy najważniejsze stanowiska w UE:
 Przewodniczący Rady Europejskiej
 Przewodniczący Komisji Europejskiej
 Wiceprzewodniczący Komisji Europejskiej i zarazem Wysoki przedstawiciel Unii do spraw zagranicznych i polityki bezpieczeństwa

  – 8 lipca 2016, w związku z końcem kadencji Heinza Fischera i unieważnieniem wyników drugiej tury wyborów jego następcy, obowiązki prezydenta Republiki Austrii objął triumwirat: Doris Bures - przewodnicząca Rady Narodowej i dwaj wiceprzewodniczący: Karlheinz Kopf i Norbert Hofer
 Commonwealth realm
Istnienia triumwiratu można się też doszukiwać w państwach Commonwealth realm (poza Wielką Brytanią), są to:
Antigua i Barbuda, Australia, Bahamy, Barbados, Belize, Grenada, Jamajka, Kanada, Nowa Zelandia, Papua-Nowa Gwinea, Saint Kitts i Nevis, Saint Lucia, Saint Vincent i Grenadyny, Tuvalu i Wyspy Salomona; a także w państwach stowarzyszonych z Nową Zelandią, których głową również jest brytyjski monarcha: Niue i Wyspy Cooka.

Faktyczny triumwirat tworzą następujące osoby:

 Monarcha brytyjski – obecnie król Karol III - jest z mocy prawa głową państwa
 Gubernator reprezentuje monarchę i rezyduje w danym państwie - de facto pełniąc funkcję głowy państwa,
 Premier - sprawuje realną władzę i stoi na czele państwa.
  – Andora choć formalnie istnieje w niej diarchia - to jednak dwaj współksiążęta mają funkcję symboliczną i reprezentacyjną. Ich decyzje w sprawach wewnętrznych (z nielicznymi wyjątkami) i niektórych zagranicznych muszą podlegać kontrasygnacie premiera (ewentualnie Przewodniczącego Rady Generalnej), zaś pozostałe decyzje w sprawach zagranicznych dotyczących obronności i bezpieczeństwa Andory podejmują wspólnie z rządem księstwa.

Biorąc pod uwagę pozycję premiera jako faktycznego przywódcy Andorytriumwirat tworzą:

 współksiążę francuski - Emmanuel Macron (prezydent Francji)
 współksiążę episkopalny - Joan Enric Vives Sicília (biskup La Seu d'Urgell)
 premier - Xavier Espot Zamora

Exploring a nanotecnological platform to modulate bioactive agents transport to specific sites. Focus is put in the treatment of Infectious diseases due to intracellular microorganisms, by means of optimizing the delivery of conventional drugs and of new agents obtained by interdisciplinary collaborations. To reach this goal appropriate lipid drug delivery systems, namely Liposomes, are used to produce nanoformulations of bioactive agents, followed by in vitro and in vivo assays.

Paranoia and Contentment
A Personal Essay on Western Thought
John C. Hampsey
Jan 2005 256 pages ISBN: 9780813922942
Dec 2005 256 pages ISBN: 9780813925097
A hybrid in both content and style, Paranoia and Contentment is a bold and original investigation into Western intellectual history. John Hampsey approaches paranoia not as a clinical term for an irrational sense of persecution but from a uniquely positive perspective, as a cultural truth—a way of understanding the history of human thought and perhaps the best way to describe Being itself.
Hampsey turns first to the ancient Greeks to explore the origin of the concept of paranoia. "Paranoia"—literally "beside the mind"—was the Greeks' primarily negative term for thinking outside the usual thought processes, or beyond reason. Working from this classical definition, Hampsey sees paranoia operating in two distinctly different ways. First there is the paranoic, his name for off-track thinking that is expansive, creative, even visionary. This is opposed to the paranoidic, which is motivated by fear, delusion, and a pursuit of contentment so obsessive that it has crippled human imagination and diminished tolerance of those who are perceived to threaten that contentment. The distinction is especially significant because the paranoidic so dominates Western thought and culture that paranoic thinking has become nearly lost to us.
Hampsey seeks to recover this expansive mode of thought by tracing an arc of paranoic moments in Western culture. Abraham, Jesus, Socrates, Hypatia, Joan of Arc, Goethe, Blake, Kierkegaard, Schreber—these are only a few among the many figures whom the author examines in order to isolate moments in Western intellectual history when paranoic vision temporarily breaks through the barriers of paranoidic fear. The book's analyses and inquiries are joined by anecdotal interludes in which Hampsey applies the conflicting concepts of paranoic and paranoidic to revealing moments in his own life. As humanly engaging as it is erudite, Paranoia and Contentment seeks to reclaim paranoic thinking as a crucial part of our consciousness and an indispensable component to understanding our cultural history.

This is a strongly built, square-proportioned dog, big-boned but not coarse. It should reflect those attributes that made the standard-sized bull terrier a formidable foe in the fighting ring with its sturdy bone and muscle and strong jaws. Its gait is free and easy. Its skin is tight and its coat is short, flat and harsh. It wears a keen and determined expression on its characteristic clown face.
Very much like the larger bull terrier, the mini is comical, lively, playful and mischievous. Despite its smaller size, it is not a lap dog. It is every bit as tough as the larger version and apt to want to prove itself even more. It is a sweet clown, devoted but not fawning. It is stubborn and independent and needs to be trained with a firm yet gentle hand — and a good sense of humor. It likes to play and investigate. It likes to dig, and it needs ample exercise.
When you look at a Miniature Bull Terrier, you see a strong, muscular dog with a long oval head that resembles an egg (especially in the white variety). Small thin ears point upward, and small dark eyes with a piercing glint are sunken into the head. A short tail, thick at the root and tapering to a fine point, is carried horizontally. The short, smooth coat can be white or colored.
The Miniature Bull Terrier breed standard does not specify a weight, but it should be proportionate to the dog's height.
The Miniature Bull Terrier was developed in England in the early 1800s, descending from the English Bulldog and the now-extinct White English Terrier. This cross produced the Bull and Terrier, which was later shortened to the Bull Terrier. Some authors suggest that the Black-and-Tan, the Spanish Pointer and the Dalmatian contributed to the mix. Early Bull Terriers varied widely in size, from tiny toys to much larger dogs resembling the full-sized Bull Terrier of this day. They came in a number of colors, include white-and-black-patched, blue and even pure white.
Toy Bull Terriers were shown in Europe until about 1914, but they were not very popular because there was no consistency in type. The toy variety suffered the problems frequently accompanying extreme miniaturization; inbreeding of litter runts led to conformational deformities and dwarfing distortions, together with a number of health disorders. Eventually, the toy variety disappeared. The medium-sized (called "miniature") Bull Terrier was more typey and thus much more popular, as it more closely approximated the standard "Bully" but was more manageable in size.
Breed fanciers concentrated on breeding a compact dog around 16 pounds that otherwise was identical to its larger cousin. The Miniature Bull Terrier was standardized due largely to the efforts of James Hinks, who bred selectively for white color, gameness and the unusual egg-shaped head. Other coat colors were introduced gradually after breed type was set. Colonel Glyn founded the Miniature Bull Terrier Club in England in 1938. The modern Mini Bull Terrier continues to be a delightful companion and a bold watch dog, thriving in urban environments with city-dwellers.
The Miniature Bull Terrier became eligible to show in the American Kennel Club's Miscellaneous Class in 1963, and was fully accepted into the Terrier Group in 1991. The Miniature Bull Terrier Club of America was formed in 1966 and is the parent club for this breed.
Interbreeding, the process of mating together a Bull Terrier (Miniature) and Bull Terrier, is allowed, only for a short time, in Australia, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom. Interbreeding is undertaken to reduce the incidence of Primary Lens Luxation in the Miniature. The Bull Terrier does not carry the PLL gene so all progeny are phenotypically normal for the disease.
The average life span of the Miniature Bull Terrier is 11 to 14 years. Their most serious health issue is a strong breed predisposition to blindness caused by lens dislocation, which typically shows up at or after 3 years of age. Other breed health concerns may include allergies, congenital deafness (in whites), compulsive tail chasing, entropion, mitral valve dysplasia and subaortic stenosis. A minor breed "weakness" is its tendency to fall asleep on its owner's lap and snore loudly.
Bullies, like their larger cousins, are intelligent and have a mind of their own. Training should be started early and always done in calm-assertive manner, as they won't respond to discipline or harsh tones. Training is best done in short sessions due to Bull Terriers' short attention span and they will quickly become uninterested, even if treats are used as a reward. Lots of patience is necessary when working with a Bull Terrier, as training can be a long process. Even after your Miniature Bull Terrier is fully trained, they may decide to test their boundaries as they get older. These situations should be handled with calm assertion; like a teenager, they just want to see how much they can get away with.
Families with children should socialize puppies early on to accept outside children as welcome guests. While Miniature Bull Terriers will bond nicely with kids in their own family, they can sometimes be aggressive to to other children and should be taught early on that all kids are to be welcomed with open arms.
Bullies need a lot of vigorous exercise, but are small enough for apartment life when a commitment is made to their need for physical activity. Though small, they are a hardy breed and are happiest when they are active. Long walks, short runs, or playing long games of ball in the back yard will meet their daily activity requirements. If a Miniature Bull Terrier is not getting enough exercise, they are sure to let you know. They are notoriously destructive, making easy work of flower beds or expensive furniture, and some develop the neurotic behavior of obsessively chasing their own tail.
Grooming the Miniature Bull Terrier is a cinch. Though the breed is naturally clean with little doggie odor, a bath every three months (or when he's dirty) in a mild shampoo for dogs is a good idea. Brush his sleek coat with a natural bristle brush or rubber hound mitt once a week. Use coat conditioner/polish to brighten the sheen.
The rest is basic care. Trim the nails as needed, and brush the teeth frequently with a vet-approved pet toothpaste for good overall health and fresh breath. Check the ears weekly for dirt, redness or a bad odor that can indicate an infection. If the ears look dirty, wipe them out with a cotton ball dampened with a gentle, pH-balanced ear cleaner recommended by your veterinarian. Introduce grooming to the Bull Terrier when he is very young so he learns to accept the handling and fuss patiently.
They can get along with other dogs their size or bigger, but toy dogs and cats are likely to set off their prey drive. They will chase and kill them if given the chance. Confine him to your yard with a solid fence. An underground electronic fence will not deter the Mini Bull Terrier if he sees something he wants to chase.
Good with Kids: This is a suitable dog breed for kids. It is also friendly toward other pets and shy toward strangers.
Is the Miniature Bull Terrier the Right Breed for you?
Easy Training: The Miniature Bull Terrier is known to listen to commands and obey its owner. Expect fewer repetitions when training this breed.

On Democrats and Republicans actually making a deal, the floundering Phillies, the flagging Phelps and the corpuscle-popping excitement of synchronized diving
Nothing lasts forever, unless you're reading a book by Friedrich Nietzsche.
Take today, for instance. It soon will morph into tomorrow. And I can't wait for tomorrow because I get better looking every day.
But before we bid adieu to today, let's point out three sea changes it has wrought:
One, the Democrats and Republicans actually can agree on something besides their mutual distrust. Congressional leaders made a deal to continue funding the government through March 2013 – meaning that Uncle Sam won't have to ask Mitt Romney for a loan.
Two, the Phillies finally admitted they have run down like a $2 alarm clock. After downshifting like Vin Diesel all season, they dumped salary by shipping Shane Victorino to the Dodgers and Hunter Pence to the Giants for household names only in their own houses. In the wake of the housecleaning, Woody Allen is playing right field and hitting fifth tonight.
Three, Michael Phelps has gone from swimming victory laps to circling the drain. He blew a gold medal in the 200-meter butterfly, but his silver was his record-tying 18th career medal. Like Nietzsche said, nothing is black and white — only beige.
Finally, as tomorrow prepares to dawn in a few, fleeting hours, synchronized diving now is all the rage in lunatic asylums. It has to be the most pointless endeavor since the Brits invented dwarf tossing.
Palestinians don't see eye-to-eye with Romney over culture, triggering an eye-for-an-eye hissy fit
Mitt Romney might be better off on his overseas trip if he zipped his lips tighter than a thong on Kirstie Alley when she plops off the diet wagon.
First Romney offended the Brits and now he has angered the Palestinians while making nice-nice to Israel.
Romney told Jewish donors today that their culture is part of what has allowed them to be more economically successful than the Palestinians, outraging Palestinian leaders who suggested his comments were racist and out of touch with the realities of the Middle East.
Romney's campaign later said his remarks were mischaracterized. But it was too late to un-ring that fire bell.
One reason why the Palestinians were angrier than Republicans stuck in an elevator with James Carville was because they blame the Israeli occupation as a major driving factor in the GDP gap between Israel and Palestine.
It would take a lot of infrastructure money to bridge that yawning cultural gap.
Performance (or the lack thereof), not racism, is the measuring stick tripping up Obama
For those of you who are not color blind, you may have noticed that Barack Obama is black.
Should this matter? Of course not.
However, there are some Democrats who claim that Obama's whiter-shade-than-pale campaign this year is because of racism, claiming that some Americans and Republicans are about as comfortable with a multiethnic society as they are juggling porcupines.
One problem with that: What happened to all that bias in 2008 when Obama won the presidency? Did Obama's hope-and-change magic turn them all, well, color blind?
I have more doubts than an atheist at the Vatican.
You can color Obama's campaign travails this time. And that would be the color of money. I believe that would be green if memory serves me correctly. After all, it's been awhile since I've seen any.
Obama's White House automatic transmission misfired, shifting him from forward into reverse.
An economy floundering like a dolphin flopping from the Schuylkill River onto Penn Street is why Mitt Romney is even in the conversation.
Granted, now there's a guy with money!
Mitt miffs Brits! Hey, it's not like the guy told them to toss their tea and crumpets and their fish and chips off the London Bridge into the River Thames
Mitt Romney wanted to be the toast of London.
But now he's toast in London.
And then London mayor Boris (why isn't this guy the mayor of Moscow?) Johnson buttered that toast with disrespect.
At a boisterous pre-Olympics rally today, Johnson ridiculed Romney for questioning the city's readiness for the Games.
"People are coming from around the world and they're seeing us," Johnson told an estimated 60,000 people who had gathered to mark the end of the Olympic Torch relay. "There are some people who are coming from around the world who don't yet know about all the preparations we've done to get London ready in the last seven years. I heard there's a guy called Mitt Romney who wants to know whether we're ready. Are we ready? Yes we are!"
Then Johnson really put the Tower of London screws (figuratively, mind you) to Romney.
Johnson finished his appearance by leading the crowd in a chant of "Yes We Can" — Barack Obama's famous and now infamous campaign slogan from 2008.
Of course, Romney was correct about "disconcerting" signs including concerns about the Games' security firm. The Brits had to bring in the army because the private security firm afforded less protection than Dial Deodorant.
Then again, never go out of your way to offend your hosts. Especially if you're running for president.
At least Romney didn't defame the memory of Benny Hill.
Romney disavows Anglo-Saxon remarks but White House is on it like white on rice
The interesting thing about presidential campaigns is that when advisors speak, their words or context often are sprinkled with small fingers of doubt.
Then both sides scramble about like field mice … a constant game of stimulus and response … more spinning than the globe sitting on a top perched on a whirling merry-go-round.
No wonder we all get dizzy.
The U.K.'s Daily Telegraph reported today that that one of Mitt Romney's advisers said: "We are part of an Anglo-Saxon heritage, and he feels that the special relationship is special. The White House doesn't fully appreciate the shared history we have."
While we live in a world of color, racism usually is black and white. So naturally that comment ignited accusations of racism – not least of all from Obama guru David Axelrod.
The implication from some people's perspective was that Romney is better equipped to understand the relationship between London and the U.S. because he is of Anglo-Saxon heritage and Obama's father was born, well, in Kenya.
The Romney campaign fully denied the Daily Telegraph report.
Mitt will be in London for the Olympics and likely won't be rooting for Kenya to medal in anything.
Romney accuses Obama of classified security leaks
Mitt Romney is prepping for his first overseas trip of the campaign so it's time to pretend that foreign policy isn't all that foreign to him.
So he brought out the tanks and rolled over Barack Obama. Squashed him like a grape. Splat! Patton would have been so proud.
Romney today accused the president of trying to gain a political edge in by leaking classified information about the U.S. military raid that killed Osama bin Laden.
Romney picked the right time to throw a haymaker at Obama on national security issues. Romney did so during an address to the Veterans of Foreign Wars, whose elderly members apparently still nodded off.
Mitt claimed Obama jeopardizes America's standing in the world in exchange for political gain.
Obama, who is hardly shy about playing the bin Laden trump card as a badge of honor, responded that he has zero tolerance for leaks because they are damaging to national security interests as well as to the room below an upstairs bathroom.
NCAA killing Penn State football slowly
The NCAA opted not to give Penn State football the death penalty today in the wake of the school's despicable cover-up of Jerry Sandusky's sexual predator crimes on and off campus.
NCAA president Mark Emmert did kill the program. Not with a single gunshot. Not with a hangman's noose. Not with a guillotine.
Rather, he is slowly bleeding Penn State football to death. Suddenly those pale white uniforms are a perfect fit.
The NCAA sanctions are unprecedented: a $60 million fine, a four-year bowl ban, capped scholarships at 20 below the normal limit for four years, five years' probation, and vacated 112 wins – further mutilating Joe Paterno's legacy.
The Big Ten also piled on, depriving Penn State of its share of conference bowl revenues over four years – another $13 million loss.
The Nittany Lions soon will have to schedule Albright, Kutztown and Fleetwood High to remain competitive. Home sellouts will join dinosaurs and flying water buffaloes as an extinct species.
Granted, football is inconsequential compared to the devastation Sandusky wrought – a decades-long crime spree aided and abetted by a university so myopic that it couldn't see beyond football and the institution.

The Voyageurs Cup (French: Coupe des Voyageurs) is the domestic trophy for professional soccer in Canada, awarded to the best men's and women's clubs in the country.
The Cup was conceived and commissioned by fans of the Canada men's national team, the Voyageurs, in 2002. From 2002 to 2007, the cup was awarded annually to the Canadian team finishing with the best record in the USL First Division, from regular season matches against other Canadian teams in the league. Since 2008, the trophy has been presented to the winner of the Canadian Championship, which also awards Canada's berth in the CONCACAF Champions League. Montreal Impact won the first seven trophies while Toronto FC took the next four. The current men's cup holders are Toronto FC, after winning the 2018 Canadian Championship.

The Voyageurs Cup was first conceived in March 2002 by fans of the Canada men's national team, known as the Voyageurs, following Canada's surprise success at the 2000 Gold Cup. After years of being promised a domestic Canadian cup by the Canadian Soccer Association (CSA), the Voyageurs took it upon themselves to commission a national trophy using member donations. Veteran Voyageurs member and chief fundraiser since the group's founding in 1996, Dwayne Cole, solicited donations on the Voyageurs internet forum, resulting in $3,500-$4,000 donated. The money was used to commission the trophy, made in Winnipeg, Manitoba. The cup itself is a handled wine cooler made from solid brass and electroplated in sterling silver. The base is lacquered, solid Canadian Oak and set with die cut polished aluminum maple leaf annual plates. An accompanying solid oak case was also crafted for safe transport.[citation needed]
The group agreed to award the cup to whichever of the four Canadian clubs in the USL A-League – the Montreal Impact, Vancouver Whitecaps, Toronto Lynx and Calgary Storm – collected the most points against each other during the regular USL season.[1]
Prior to the establishment of the Canadian Premier League, the cup had been contested by the Montreal Impact, Toronto Lynx, the USL and MLS incarnations of the Vancouver Whitecaps, Calgary Storm (later renamed Calgary Mustangs), Edmonton Aviators, Toronto FC, FC Edmonton and Ottawa Fury FC, along with the League1 Ontario and Première Ligue de soccer du Québec champions.
When the CPL launched, its teams were added into the draw, to expand the clubs to include Pacific FC, Cavalry FC, Valour FC, York9 FC, Forge FC and HFX Wanderers.
The Montreal Impact won the first seven titles, the first six by virtue of their regular-season record in the USL against other Canadian sides. They won the inaugural 2008 Canadian Championship to retain the trophy, their seventh straight Voyageurs Cup victory. Toronto FC won the 2009 Canadian Championship to win the Voyageurs Cup for the first time. The Calgary Storm never finished higher than fourth in the competition while the Edmonton Aviators finished third in their lone appearance in the tournament. Both Alberta teams folded after the 2004 season. The Toronto Lynx finished as runners-up in four of the five years they participated, eventually dropping down to the Premier Development League in 2007 and effectively withdrawing from the competition. As a result, in 2007 the trophy was decided on regular-season USL results between the Montreal Impact and the Vancouver Whitecaps FC.
The cup is awarded by the Voyageurs, who were founded in 1996 as a national organization of fans of Canada men's national soccer team at all age levels. Until 2008, costs associated with the cup, such as engraving, shipping, maintenance, and promotion had been paid for by private donations from individual members of the Voyageurs. In 2008, the trophy was handed over to the Canadian Soccer Association to be presented to the winners of the Canadian Championship. The terms of the agreement were to be reviewed in 2010.[2][3]
There is also a Voyageurs Cup West for Women and Voyageurs Cup East for Women awarded since 2004. The first Women's Voyageurs Super Cup was contested in 2006.

^ The format of the 2011 tournament was different from previous editions. In 2011, with four teams involved, the tournament was changed to be a home-and-away semi-final round and a similar final round between the winners. Toronto, as reigning champions, were assigned the top seed and were matched with Edmonton, which was assigned the fourth seed as newcomers to the tournament. The two remaining teams, Montreal and Vancouver, faced off in the other semi-final.[4][5]

HOUSTON, Texas — Marco Rubio was on fire Thursday night.
For months, the Florida senator resisted taking on Republican front-runner and expert attack dog Donald Trump, much to the chagrin of the GOP establishment. That reluctance evaporated during the final GOP presidential debate before Super Tuesday.
Standing to the right of Trump, Rubio delivered one blow after another at the billionaire businessman, attacking him on everything from immigration to foreign policy and health care to the businessman's hiring practices. And to Trump's left, Ted Cruz delighted in joining in the pile-on.
In the middle of a debate filled with fireworks and filled with barely audible exchanges in which the three candidates furiously talked over one another, Trump pointed to the two men flanking him and lashed out: "This guy is a choke artist," he said, turning to Rubio, "and this guy's a liar," he said of Cruz.
Watching it all from the audience was former President George H.W. Bush and his wife, Barbara, whose era of politics seems long gone in today's Republican Party. Their attendance was all the more notable since this was the first GOP debate of the season in which their son, Jeb, didn't appear after dropping out of the race.
Rubio's change in tone came just five days ahead of a slew of March 1 primary contests, when hundreds of delegates will be up for grabs. The evening marked the strongest debate performance for the Florida senator, who immediately used a question about immigration to aim fire at Trump.
"You're the only person on this stage that's ever been fined for hiring people to work on your project illegally," Rubio told Trump.
Rubio and Trump spoke over each other as the senator accused the real estate mogul of hiring Polish workers. Trump dismissed the episode as something that happened decades ago.
"I guess there's a statute of limitations on lies," Rubio retorted.
Rubio later mocked Trump for having a "fake school," referring to lawsuits aimed at Trump University alleging fraud and deception.
Rubio responded by calling out Trump for his privileged background.
"If he hadn't inherited $200 million, you know where Donald Trump would be right now? Selling watches in Manhattan," Rubio said.
Rubio also challenged Trump on foreign policy.
One of the most explosive exchanges between Trump and Rubio came when the candidates were asked to discuss their health care plans.
"When you get rid of the lines, that brings in competition," Trump said.
"Now he's repeating himself," Rubio responded.
CNN's Dana Bash cut in to ask whether Trump has any more to add to his previously stated proposal on health-care reform.
"No, there's nothing to add. What's to add?" Trump said.
Cruz also went on the offensive, saying Trump had previously donated to Democrats who had worked on the so-called Gang of Eight immigration reform bill. Voters should judge a candidate by looking at their "record before they were a candidate for president," Cruz added.
The conservative firebrand senator won the Iowa caucuses but has not been able to notch another victory since, and has been forthright about the ramifications of Super Tuesday, especially the significance of his home state of Texas, where there are 155 delegates at stake.
A Monmouth University poll released Thursday put Cruz 15 points ahead of Trump in Texas.
Mitt Romney, the 2012 GOP presidential nominee, also played a role in the debate. He sparked controversy Wednesday when he suggested Trump's tax returns could contain a potential "bombshell" and urged the businessman to release his information.
On the debate stage, Trump claimed that is being audited and that he would not release the returns until that process was over.
"I can't release it while I'm under an audit," he said.
Cruz echoed Romney's suggestion that there may be something problematic lurking in Trump's tax returns.
Cruz and Rubio said they would release new tax returns within the next two days.
Cruz and Rubio also tussled with Trump over replacing Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia.
Cruz slammed Trump for donating to Democrats in the past — a sign, Cruz warned, that Trump would get to Washington and "cut a deal" on Supreme Court appointees.
Trump responded by blasting Cruz for being an obstructionist in Congress — "You have to have somebody who can make deals," he said.
Trump also responded to former Mexican President Vicente Fox's recent response to Trump's claim that Mexico would pay for his proposed U.S.-Mexico wall.
"I'm not going to pay for that f***ing wall. He should pay for it," Fox told Fusion's Jorge Ramos in an interview published Thursday.

The Tanzania Link is a mental health partnership between the Trust and Mirembe Hospital & School of Nursing, Tanzania's national referral psychiatric hospital.
Launched in 2009, the Link's initial focus was to develop a mutually beneficial relationship with a health service in a low or middle income country. Tanzania is a low income country with a critical shortage of mental health professionals and only 17 psychiatrists to serve its population of 44 million people. Furthermore, mental health is neglected in Tanzania because of stigma and competing health demands.
Launched in 2009, the Link's initial focus was to develop a mutually beneficial relationship with a health service in a low- or middle-income country. Tanzania is a low-income country with a critical shortage of mental health professionals and only 17 psychiatrists to serve a population of 44 million people. Furthermore, mental health is neglected in Tanzania because of high levels of stigma and lack of awareness and considerable competing health demands. Of the 6% of the Tanzanian GDP spent on health generally only 2.4% of the total health budget is spent on mental health. This results in very limited resources for people with mental health problems, so that practically all services are hospital-centred and here is little support in the community.
From the outset, the Link aimed to build the skills and capacity of staff at Mirembe Hospital & School of Nursing. However, both CNWL and Mirembe recognised that the Link was mutually beneficial and could make a significant difference to and impact on their services and staff.
The Tanzania Link project has now been running successfully for 5 years and has gained recognition at the level of the Department for International Development (DfID) and the Tanzanian Ministry of Health and Social Welfare as a model of good practice.
Mirembe Hospital & Nursing School
Mirembe Hospital is based in Dodoma, the legislative capital of Tanzania, and opened in 1926. It is Tanzania's national referral psychiatric hospital with provision for general and forensic inpatients and a rehabilitation village. There are 600 patients with two psychiatrists and 250 staff from a range of professions. There is commonly one nurse to 60 patients on a ward.
Since 1973, the School of Nursing has provided training for mental health nurses. It offers a diploma course in general nursing, an advance diploma in mental health nursing and short continuing professional development courses. The school hopes to introduce Tanzania's first BSc in mental health in the next couple of years.
Benefits to CNWL
Through the Link, Trust staff have benefited in the following ways:
Improved morale and motivation, and greater appreciation of the Trust and NHS.
Gaining a better understanding of the Trust's services and teams through workstream and committee meetings.
Enhanced knowledge and skills, including project management, global mental health, problem solving skills, fundraising, budgeting, writing grant applications, service monitoring and evaluation, and managing resources efficiently.
Having the opportunity to work with staff outside of their usual day jobs.
Improved leadership skills with innovative and creative ways of working.
Greater awareness of how to avoid waste and work with fewer resources.
Greater understanding of global mental health and service delivery in low income countries.
Learning and enhancing (new) skills in research, project management, communication, negotiation and presentation.
Better cultural awareness and understanding of cultural differences and attitudes, including the use of interpreters.
Benefits to Mirembe Hospital
Since the Link was established, much work has taken place to create good working relationships and agree a set planned priority areas. These include:
Therapeutic management of violence and aggression training (TMVA): This was an immediate priority for the Link to positively impact on the recruitment and retention of staff at Mirembe, where there were no formal approaches to managing violent and aggressive behaviour despite high levels within the hospital.
In April 2011, four CNWL staff travelled to Tanzania to train 50% of Mirembe staff in TMVA techniques. The Link successfully secured further funding to enable Mirembe staff to become TMVA tutors and train the remaining 50% of hospital staff, plus staff in two other regional hospitals.
The project finished in 2014. It has led to a decrease in violence and aggression in the hospital and has helped to improve morale within the hospital. Furthermore, communication between staff and patients has increased and Mirembe's first staff and patient council was established.
Supporting the opening of a substance misuse (SMS) centre: In 2014, Mirembe received funding from the Ministry of Health to complete a building for the treatment of substance misuse, due to open in July 2014. The Link aims to support this specialist service by focusing on three key areas: infrastructure, training and education for staff and students, and partnership working.
IT development: This objective focuses on developing the hospital's IT infrastructure to facilitate improved communication, training and future IT projects e.g. clinical systems, financial systems and training facilities. The majority of staff at Mirembe have limited IT knowledge/ skills and access to computers. The Link is now looking at resources and funding to develop these areas, as well as Skype supervision and training.
Developing occupation therapy (OT) at Mirembe Hospital: Currently, there is one qualified occupation therapist who runs activities in agriculture, carpentry, tailoring and weaving with a small number of service users. In the long term, the Link hopes to develop the knowledge and skills of the OT and increase capacity through student placements.
Community engagement: In November 2012, two staff completed a project to scope community services and ascertain the discharge process at Mirembe Hospital. They found that community services were previously active at Mirembe but that they have decreased over the last decade. There is limited follow-up for patients, mainly due to low staffing levels and capacity, which has led to 90% of discharged patients returning to Mirembe within one month. The Link aims to strengthen community services in the Dodoma region, and is hoping to secure funding from the Ministry of Health & Social Welfare in Tanzania to achieve this.
Building nursing capacity and practice: Nurses are the biggest staff group at Mirembe. In January 2014, a scoping visit took place to identify nurses for a "buddying" project and to review nursing practice and supervision. A number of nurses from Mirembe were keen to take part in the project and CNWL is currently recruiting nurses from the UK to participate.
Since its inception, the link has achieved a great deal both as a result of the planned priority areas but also from some unexpected outcomes. It has helped to raise morale at Mirembe Hospital; staff and hospital management feel proud to be linked with CNWL. This gives the hospital management confidence, which helps them to raise the profile of Mirembe Hospital and mental health within Tanzania.
As a neutral partner, CNWL helps to facilitate difficult discussions between staff and management, and staff and patients. As a result of these discussions, hospital management has implemented positive changes, such as fixing the ward lighting and telephones so that patients and staff feel safe at night.
By linking with CNWL, Mirembe has become a more attractive place to work, which is likely to help recruit and retain staff and students in the future. Feedback from the Matron at Mirembe Hospital in January 2014 said:
"The experience that I gained from CNWL has helped me to improve my practice in the management of mental patients, especially those with violence and aggressive behaviour. Also it has helped me in the supervision of my junior staff, to provide proper and safe care to patients."
The Tanzania Link regularly raises funds to support its work. In the past CNWL staff have taken part in running and triathlon challenge events. The Link also holds events, stalls and promotes payroll giving within the Trust. In 2013 the link successfully raised £12,000 to support its activities.
Volunteering for the Link
Periodically volunteers from the Link make visits to Tanzania to support the various work-streams. In order for this to be a fair and transparent process and to ensure that as many suitable volunteers as possible have the opportunity to visit the Tanzanian partners, there needs to be a set of criteria which is used to select staff for each visit. These include:
• The current priorities of the Link
• The purpose of the visit, as agreed by the Tanzania Link Committee
• The skills of the interested volunteers
• Maintaining continuity and consistency of approach
• Agreed approval from line managers
• Availability at the proposed dates of the visit
• Commitment to ongoing work with the Link beyond the visit
• Commitment to pre planning and preparation of materials to be used on the visit
• Commitment to writing a full report of the visit, and to assist with any follow-up work
• Valid passports and eligibility to obtain a visa.
Where there are more potential volunteers than spaces available there will be an interview for selection. The decision of the Tanzania Link Chairs will be final.
CNWL staff can find more information about volunteering on the staff intranet.
Non-CNWL staff interested in volunteering should contact Chris Bumstead, Tanzania Link Manager
If you are interested in supporting the Tanzania Link you could make a regular donation through Virgin Giving When you use this method you can also choose to donate Gift Aid which means that an extra 25p will be added by the taxman.
Make sure when you have chosen how much and how frequently you wish to donate that you enter in the Comment section TANZANIA LINK PROJECT so that your donation goes into the correct part of the CNWL Charitable Funds Account.
In November 2014, the link will hold a summit in Tanzania to review and evaluate the priority areas over the last five years, and to create a strategic plan for the next five to 10 years.
The link aims to further engage with the East African/Tanzanian diaspora to support the work of the link. This highlights best practice and is also an excellent resource, whilst potentially ensuring the Link's future sustainability.
For further information, or for ways to support the Tanzania Link, please telephone Chris Bumstead, Tanzania Link Manager, on 020 3214 5765 or email c.bumstead@nhs.net

Europe | Arctic Norway
A place where Russians starve amid Norwegian plenty
Sep 30th 2004 | svalbard
A GIANT bust of Lenin lords it over Barentsburg, an 800-strong settlement in Svalbard. The bust and the Soviet-era murals and street signs leave no doubt that this is a Russian place. Yet Barentsburg, which clings precariously to an arctic mountain, belongs to Norway, not Russia.
Barentsburg owes its existence to the 1919 Versailles conference, which settled a dispute by handing Norway sovereignty over Svalbard but giving other countries the right to establish settlements. Only Russia took this up. Barentsburg is ostensibly for mining. But although there is plenty of coal, the Russians have never turned a profit. Its real purpose is strategic. In the cold war, Svalbard was one of the few places where east and west had to co-exist.
The cold war has thawed, even in Svalbard; yet relations remain frosty. The main town, Longyearbyen, is relatively vibrant. Its 1,750 residents, mostly Norwegians, enjoy a range of shops, restaurants and night clubs. Everything can be had, from wide-screen televisions to extra-virgin olive oil. Tourists are lured by polar-bear trips into the wild interior—Svalbard has twice as many polar bears as people. In short, Longyearbyen is fast becoming an adventure playground for wealthy Norwegians.
In Barentsburg, a short boat ride away, life is very different. There is no double glazing. The miners, most of whom came from Ukraine, put plastic sheets over their windows to keep out the cold—temperatures can dip below -45°C. Living conditions have deteriorated since the collapse of the Soviet Union. Cash from Moscow has dried up; cows that supplied fresh milk have been slaughtered; rotten food caused an outbreak of food poisoning this summer. The miners are angry and muttering mutiny: one has been battered to death.
Norway has an admirable record of humanitarian aid. Yet on Svalbard, officials seem indifferent. Odd Olsen Ingero, the governor of Svalbard, washes his hands of Barentsburg by saying the miners are there by their own choice. "This is a Russian town on Norwegian territory. They are not Norwegian citizens."
Others see things differently. Per Buxrud, a grocer from southern Norway, got a huge response when he organised a container of emergency relief. His shipment of toys, hospital supplies, warm clothing and fresh food was welcomed by the miners. Geir Kristian Svendsen, another relief organiser, is ashamed that such poverty is tolerated on Norwegian territory. "Prisoners in all Nordic countries are like kings compared with these people," he says.

India vs Australia: Assistant Coach Brad Haddin Concedes Australia Playing Like They Are a 'Bit Scared'
Cricketnext Staff |January 12, 2019, 9:36 PM IST
Australia assistant coach Brad Haddin believes that the current team is well behind in their build-up to World Cup title defense, despite the side beating India in the first ODI of the three match series at the Sydney Cricket Ground on Saturday.
Australia had a poor 2018, winning just two from 13 ODI's and losing five bilateral series' in the process. The trend has been carried forward from 2017, where they won one of their last five games.
Over the course of those results from February 2017 to December 2018, Australia used 32 players. That number goes up by two with the inclusions of Usman Khawaja and Peter Siddle, the latter whom is making his first ODI appearance in eight years.
Australia's biggest problem has been their batting with an average of 27.68 runs per wicket with the bat in 2018 — its lowest since 1997.
"I think it's our style of play, to be honest. The game's moved forward since the 2015 World Cup and I don't think we've quite moved that way with the trends of the game, so from our point of view it's making sure that we get our style right — you've got to score 300 plus to be competitive," Haddin told Fox Sports.
In the last 13 games, Australia have managed to score in excess of 300 only thrice.
England, the current top-ranked ODI side, made eight 300+ scores in 24 matches. New Zealand made five from 16 games and India four from 20.
According to Haddin Australia needed to play freely to be able to defend their title in May in England and Wales.
"I think we've just played like we're a bit scared," Haddin said.
"But we know in one-day cricket you've got to make sure that you're playing brave and moving the game forward."
Former Australian captains and World Cup winners Shane Warne and Allan Border concur, with both also of the belief that Australia are yet to get their team combination right.
"They've decided to go with the cautious approach and just see how that looks," Warne said in commentary for Fox Sports.
"Obviously a lot depends on Aaron Finch at the top of the order. He's such a powerful player, he got the most runs in the calendar year last year for Australia, so they need him to fire. But if he doesn't fire, you look at (Usman) Khawaja, Shaun Marsh, (Peter) Handscomb... there's not much firepower after that.
"And as Aaron Finch said to me at the toss, 'we want to have wickets in hand through the middle overs. We've struggled against the spinners and then have wickets in-hand and excel and bash it at the end.'
"Is that the style that's going to win you a World Cup?"
He also said, "They're really stuck because going the power option very rarely have they been able to bat the 50 overs. I think they've gone too much to the extreme. I think it's somewhere in-between they'll eventually get there before the World Cup — they'll have a mixture of power and precision."
Border, who led Australia to their maiden World Cup triumph in 1987 in India, criticised the current structure.
"Do you reckon we're just playing a bit of lip service to our domestic 50 over tournament?" Border said in commentary.
"So developing players. We play our JLT Cup at the start of the season on club grounds really and it's over and done within a month... and that's 50 over cricket done with domestically. So are we developing the right sort of players? Like, who did well in the JLT Cup? No one really remembers."
It's worth noting that the three leading runscorers from the JLT Cup — Chris Lynn, Ben McDermott and D'Arcy Short — were all dropped for the ODI series against India.
The second ODI takes place at Adelaide on Tuesday (15 January).

Tales from Space: About a Blob Announced as PSN Exclusive


Several thousand miles away, Mogae's strong sentiments were expressed on the same day Gomolemo Motswaledi 's freak, fatal automobile accident happened, a known Khama's nemesis after he was expelled from the party for challenging his powers in the courts.
Masire and Mogae's public taunts drifted off the course and were biting at the chances of the ruling party ahead of the general election, causing Khama and his loyalists some consternation. But Masire and Mogae were biting the bullet on behalf of the masses fearing to make pronouncements publicly.
Abroad, pundits and pollsters on democracy patterns pointed out noticeable decline with information suggesting that Botswana was joining the rest of Africa.
While the perceptions dented his reputation, Khama refused to be distracted and kept preaching to the nation and the world about the democratic ethos and sometime overstretching his limits to pit himself against superpowers including the United States and the European Union nations, basically telling them to 'get lost'. Rather commendable about Khama though, has been the consistent speeches so much the listener ticked every box about him as a democrat.
For such consistency in rhetoric and public discourse, Khama was exerting pressure on himself to abide by his preaching to the rest of the world to vacate office when his constitutional term was up. When the rest of Africa chose to "cover my back, so I cover yours next time," Khama broke ranks with rogue leaders and made pronouncements that served as music to the ears of the media practitioners and human rights activists across a continent that knows repression on these freedoms. Khama received extensive coverage, accolades from the international media as a leader who feared nothing to break ranks with despots and dictators. Africans in the diaspora who experienced tyranny in their native lands dismissed Botswana citizens as crybabies. Where we vilified Khama, fellow Africans praised him.
During Khama's administration, Botswana's foreign policy showed no regard whatsoever with diplomacy. We insulted the United States, the European Union, and China to name the superpowers, and we have not shown remorse because we felt we had the power, much less the moral stance to tell them off. As for African nations, we condemned with an air of 'holier than thou' against Nigeria, Sudan, Zimbabwe, Uganda, Burundi, Madagascar, and Lesotho. These criticisms, however, have irked our fellow African people; the ousted Robert Mugabe was one to speak up and remind Khama of his toddler days when the elderly statesman visited his father at the State House. Botswana got isolated at international meetings with African nations itching for a moment to have a go at us – and they did on more than one occasion. Athaliah Molokomme, Pelonomi Venson-Moitoi and Phenyo Butale's bids for international assignments are reference points emanating from our foreign policy during Khama's tenure and African leaders minced no words. Khama spurned efforts to promote the voice of the continental body in the African Union (AU), preferring instead, to support the International Criminal Court (ICC) on the arrest and prosecution of African dictatorial leaders who committed crimes against humanity. When the United Nations General Assembly was in session, he delegated his vice to represent the nation, while he could be flying in the same direction to attend Conservation International symposium. His prioritisation was quite interesting in that it was neither dictated nor imposed on him by the West. Notwithstanding his overtures, Botswana earned respect in the eyes of the Western powers, while increasingly growing isolated from the affairs of Africa. But such respect even; was limited as long as the superpowers did not cross Khama's line by espousing liberal democracy on topics he held conservative convictions about such as deportation.
That said, Khama has a penchant for power and control. And it comes with a history. Born of the royal house of the Bangwato, Khama would have been socialized early on in his life that he lived to reign over a people in the GaMmangwato territory. It is a vast terrain that stretches hundreds of kilometres into the Kalanga-speaking area including Tutume and her environs, all the way to Nungu River approaching Pandamatenga in the Chobe bushes, circling all the way to Ngamiland by the Makalamabedi cordon fence, some parts of the Central Kalahari Game Reserve, the whole of Boteti and crossing the railway line to include Mmadinare, Selibe-Phikwe and the Bobirwa areas, stretching to the border with South Africa along the Limpopo River in the Tswapoing Hills all the way to the cordon fence of Dibete in Kgatleng.
Any person who resides in this territory has been socialised to defer to the Khama name as "beng ba mmu (owners of the soil)". He subscribes to the belief that leaders are born, much less made. Upon completion of his Sandhurst military training, at age 24, he jumped the long line of men who pioneered in the military police before it transformed into the Botswana Defence Force in 1977 enlisting as Brigadier, deputising the army general, basically understudying then Major General Mompati Merafhe to take over the reins of power when the time was ripe. Concurrently, his father, indeed the founding president Sir Seretse Khama, who himself was royal, had he not abdicated the duty after a fallout with his paternal uncle and regent Tshekedi Khama, made sure that his young son at 26 wore the lion's skin above his military tunic and was paraded before the commoners in the tribal capital of Serowe as their paramount chief.
While Jacqueline is the eldest sibling; he certainly is the eldest male, the twins (Anthony and Tshekedi) would have grown up under his shadow and admired him as the prince. Ian Khama, therefore, has never been wanting where power and control are mentioned. He ultimately took full charge of the army before landing in politics as the vice president and subsequently the president for an uninterrupted ten years. Cumulatively, he has been in the public affairs for twenty years, discounting the long career as the army general, where he also spent twenty years. Power and control are in him and he oozes an aura of these when he addresses the public – his often humorous jibes are intercepted with cheers and ululations to his amusement, mostly by his subjects and a mass following in and across towns and villages.
Contrast this – Masire as the president, was booed during the Segametsi ritual murder in Gaborone in 1995; Mogae in his presidential capacity was booed at the Serowe Kgotla in 2002 when he addressed them on the amendments of the Constitution (sections 77, 78 and 79) and belittled as Motalaote without masking their faces to express their disgust at being treated as equal with tribes that they have subjugated over generations. Khama might have been booed during the mother-of-all-strikes in 2011, but the majority of people simply muttered under their breaths and gritted teeth in protest. It is because of the power that people fear he commands. It is common to hear that if you criticise him, you will disappear. Journalists especially have been warned against harsh criticism of Khama for fear they would disappear without a trace. Yes, he is feared – but Khama is not respected as much as his admirers would have us believe.
Paradoxically, the preaching about democracy to errant African leaders – whenever it was demanded by the opposition voices or the media as watchdogs was treated as sedition or treason to have people targeted by security agents. Outsa Mokone, four years later, still has a case to answer after he was charged with sedition for publishing a story that the presidency argued was inaccurate about Khama 'driving himself at night and getting involved in an automobile accident'. The reporter, Edgar Tsimane received a tip-off from an intelligence agent and skipped the country and found a haven in South Africa until last month. Sonny Serite – one of the harshest critics of Ian Khama's administration spent several nights in jail over a confidential file that he obtained from an officer at the presidency ministry involving one of Khama's friends whose story was of public interest. These cases play into the terrain of media freedom as an invaluable cornerstone that underpins democracy, but he did not welcome perceptions of those looking from outside the circle and criticising him.
Hence among his Cabinet, Khama split hair as to the most appropriate individual that he could entrust with the presidency once his term was up. Besides his younger brother, his trusted allies could not ascend into the presidency, mainly because the Constitution bars anyone who was never popularly elected to Parliament to inherit the presidency. Mokgweetsi Masisi was the choice because above everything else, he had publicly disparaged himself and his ancestry that he was a bootlicker, a phrase Khama evidently treated rather too seriously and with a total conviction. It narrowed down the choice to this one man, who proved trustworthy to carry out errands by the master at whim and Masisi discharged himself diligently to receive the anointing, much to the chagrins of senior party members. But Masisi declared his bootlicking only in so far as he was deputizing Khama. He would never have sworn to bootlick when he was the president, or he would have mortgaged the nation to another term of Khama, which was marked by fear. Masisi made the statement clearly to deliver the nation from such a regime, after he took over on April 01, 2018 in the popularised refrain, "Re baakanya lefatshe" (We restore the land). Note the inclusiveness in the noun as opposed to the "I" that was common in marshalling directives. However, from the turn of events since April 01, one can see clearly the deep-seated feelings of betrayal that Khama feels.
But what options did Khama really have after so many eloquent speeches about democracy and distinguishing himself from the rest of the power-mongers who had declared themselves life presidents across the miserable continent? He had only two options at his disposal. Either to cling to power and extend his term of office like fellow African leaders and become the laughing stock, while such move would achieve to plunge Botswana into a crisis of immeasurable proportions. Or better still, he had to stick to the rhetoric and public discourse on democracy and good governance that he preached to the rest of the world by stepping down gracefully as he did and pass the baton to his successor, head home to his retirement mansion and invite the inner circles for a relaxed merrymaking and forget about the troubles of running the affairs of the land. The pressure was mounted high and the stakes too dire for a man who cares about legacy. Ian Khama chose the best route. However, it is a choice that is biting him now. Do we care to know why?
